However, since virtually no one on this board seriously believes Romney is a real improvement, how does a vote for him advance the conservative cause?
Everywhere I look on the ABO threads, I see people saying "I despise Romney, but...
At which point, it's no longer necessary to read. Any "any" except Romney is shouted down.
For example, if the conservatives in Indiana who sent Lugar packing yesterday -- and admit it, it's a move we ALL applauded -- stuck to those same principles for a conservative candidate for President, what might happen to the Republican Party?
What might happen if an unabashed conservative candidate appealed to conservative Southern Democrats who have no reason to vote for a Northeastern liberal like Romney? What might happen if the foundation of the Reagan Coalition performed one more great service to its country?
More importantly, what happens if we simply cave in to Romney and let such a man control the apparatus of a major political party? What happens if we don't try?
I respect your decision, though. We all have choices to make.
“However, since virtually no one on this board seriously believes Romney is a real improvement, how does a vote for him advance the conservative cause? “
First, that’s hyperventilating. Of course he is an improvement, in that he is much less bad than the only other current alternative.
And, it won’t advance conservatism - it will help make sure it doesn’t get bombed back into the stone age, and allow us to continue to work toward a more conservative future!
